Bowden in Ashes umpire list

Billy Bowden has been included in an expanded list of five umpires to officiate during this winter's Ashes series.

Following the controversy that surrounded the officiating during last summer's Ashes, the International Cricket Council has named Bowden to stand in a Test for the first time since he was dropped from the Elite Panel in June.

Bowden will join the four umpires that officiated this summer - Kumar Dharmasena, Aleem Dar, Marais Erasmus and Tony Hill - after the list of appointments was revealed on Saturday.
